For context

Welp stackers we are about 30 days out from the start of The Atlanta Bitcoin Conference #7 (TABCONF #7) at Georgia Tech!

I went to TABCONF #6 and had a blast so this year I decided to host an SN event and hopefully make this a yearly event along side this conference till my death!

My idea was accepted on GitHub

So far we have floor space (which I hope comes with a table) and pod equipment provided by @Car.

I don’t have anything planned at the moment but here is what I plan to bring.

  • Merch from @AGORA
  • All the zines from @plebpoet
  • I ordered some blank satscards (yes from that NVK who hates on SN) to help stackers give out sats if they so wish. If not I plan on thinking of something cool like drawing SN designs and giving them away

I have some other ideas like making some business cards that link to Stacker News and to my territories but I haven’t pulled the trigger on that yet.

But stackers feel free to jump in the comments and help plan this event. The overall goal is to have fun celebrating SN and increase awareness about this great site we all cherish! Hope to see you all in Atlanta!

What about a salsa bar?

  • People love food
  • Could have three levels of spiciness
  • Visitors could win merch/get entered in a raffle for eating spiciest salsa
  • Kinda ties into the SN western/Texas theme

Uncharacteristically, I will be at Tabconf. I'd be happy to make said salsa bar happen if it sounds like a good idea. (also happy to help out in general).

Additionally, I've been working on a special prize for stackers who get to a 365-day streak with their cowboy hat. Maybe tabconf would be a good place to reveal it (seeing as you are one of the few over the 1 year mark).

I think we should make the SNL for that week be a version of First We feast.

For each post @Car and @k00b cover the salsa gets progressively spicier.

I booked my travel finally. @Scoresby has a bunch of ideas about games we can do at the table. One might include a game built-in to the site. We shall see!

reply

Would be interesting to have IRL @chess tournament reflected in SN ~gaming, each game a new post. Could the board somehow give inputs via API? I doubt people will go there to play chess and maybe too complex for such short notice... just an idea

reply

Awesome see you there!

reply

Sounds like TABCONF #7 is gonna be the ultimate sat-stacking shindig! Love that you're turning this into an SN tradition

Such great initiative. We will be so glad to support you or anyone willing to contribute.

For the satscards, consider that there's also the boltcards alternatives. You can find a full list of NFC cards providers in their website FAQs.

Anything else you need, let's plug into nostr DMs

reply

Ahh bolt cards I forgot about them

reply
142 sats \ 0 replies \ @AG 14 Sep

To consider, it works differently. Boltcards do not rely on in a centralized server

reply

Big initiative, especially from someone I don't think is even in the SN org. A live TV stream from HTTPS://stacker.news site would be a great pull, maybe with some promo stuff mixed in. Congrats

reply

TABconf is always a solid event.

reply

I’m so thankful for zine representation 🙏🏻 that’s awesome

Thanks @BlockchainB for bringing a piece of the ~AGORA to TABCONF. For all stackers heading there (and here) we will offer 14% OFF on all SN merch from Oct 12th to the 21st. Ask @remindme in 2 weeks

Use coupon TABCONF7 // ORDER ONLINE from https://AGORA.ftp.sh/brand/stacker-news

Thanks do you have a preference on how this is presented? A simple paper okay?

reply

Yes simple paper will be fine, placed on a table or stick to a wall... whatever easier. Print few copies if you can :)

@k00b would be this ok for you? I mean to have unofficial merch at the official booth. Or is the booth community powered too? Not sure what make official official... but yeah, just want to double-check with you as well.

Thanks, Message sent to you.

reply

Man, this will be epic, and the fact that you are committed to do it until tabconf exists is huge.

Count with me for any type of support you might need, from the business card design, design the pod or any marketing material and promotion. I can even help give this historic event (first community powered SN presence at events) some online visibility.

reply

Yeah I need some help with some business card design. Looking to place an order for some SN cards with barcodes showcasing different territories. Like one for Bitcoin one for sports so we can target those who may have that particular interest. Will
Most likely use vista print

reply

The one for Bitcoin is kind general? Simply with a bitcoin logo? Make sense, DM me on nostr the contact details you'd like include.

For @grayruby's ~Stacker_Stocks have made some initial mockups here #1223737

I would look into a yellow table cloth of a sort and some signage or something that says Stacker News or something we can print out from Office Depot and pick up and hang behind us.

Thanks for putting this together Boog! Will be coming in from Yucatán from Startup Day on Monday, so yes will be bringing mics and stuff to stream etc.

🤔 We might have to do SNL on Thursday afternoon that week. Since the conference is Monday - Thursday.

Will be a great time! Either way will figure it out on the fly. Will also be selling the SNL DVD as well at the table.

Internet might be spotty as well, so if anyone has a mobile hotspot for streaming definitely bring it we could use it. If not we can always record and upload later like we did for the crypto conference in Nashville.

reply

I would love to make the posters. Can do that at the print shop

reply

I’ll look into this

reply

Seriously, that's a really selfless attitude. You don't see that much these days! 💪

If I think of anything else good, I'll comment again. Thanks!

reply

Thanks!

reply

Respect & best of luck! I don't have much I can do in terms of supporting you from afar, and I don't have any SN-specific writings or merch to offer. But in case you want to order some general BTC-related goods for resale, you can have a look at https://www.kontext.store/ and I can give you bulk discounts. Also, my writings are all Creative Commons licensed so if you feel any of that is appropriate, you're free to print some and hand out or something (or offer a Name Your Price / V4V deal). I guess the Open Source Culture Manifesto (#883698) goes kind of hand-in-hand with the whole V4V idea, although most of my writings are more generic / prose / philosophy type texts. In any case, if you have any further ideas on how I could potentially pitch in / collaborate, feel free to reach out! 🤠

Is it possible for you to make some SN themed pins?

reply

We got some simple logo pins covered https://agora.ftp.sh/tag/pins/

Thinking in making pins of the SN nostr badges too and make the pin available exclusively to certain stackers

reply

Nice! When is the latest I can order to have on hand for TABCONF?

Would be cool to have a few of these on our table

Had a Nostrich-discounted ticket for TC6 last year that I couldn't either utilize nor transfer to anyone else that could go (should have made the offer here rather than Nostr, I guess), and I've been somewhat bitter about that fact since I know with absolute certainty I'll never be able to attend without spending $800+ on just room, board and ticketing cost alone.

Nonetheless, I hope this year's conference is even better than the bits of last year's I saw.

Good Luck.
I'll keep an eye on everything from the other side of the world. Thanks for putting this up together. May it grows so big so early that we can have one here in India, calling it tabconf India!

Yo THIS IS AWESOME! Congrats!

Would you entertain the idea of getting SAT Cards from Fold? They are getting into the BTC gift card game in a pretty big way.

I went to a meeting last week at PubKey in NYC where the CEO was speaking, and they were giving away $25 BTC gift cards.

I just figure if the first guys a hater, Fold might be a better option for future events

reply

Thanks but fold isn’t on SN. So unless they create an account and become a stacker I would have to decline.

This event is for stackers by stackers only.

Questions for any TABCONF Veterans:

  • After buying tickets, I only received (via email) a receipt of payment from Opennode. Does TABCONF send out tickets and/or confirmation of registration?
  • Looking at the Schedule on GitHub, Stacker News TABConf Takeover is listed under the Day 1 & 2 Section. Do we expect to have the SN Table up for all 4 days?
reply

I only plan on being there till Wednesday morning.

reply

@deSign_r can you make me some business cards for my territories please? I will pay you in sats!

reply

You welcome, I'll be honored. I was wondering how is that you were asking for Stacker_Sports and not yours! How did it went with those business cards[1]? Do have arrived yet?

I remember doing the banners for how do you feel about those designs [2][3]? Can I make the business cards aligned with it or do you prefer something new?

Need some more details, here a post for each:

  • Construction_and_Engineering territory business cards #1228087
  • Stacker_Stocks territory business cards #1228096

_

  1. Stacker_Sports Biz Cards #1223737

  2. Stacker_Stocks banners #883421

  3. Construction_and_Engineering banners #882285

reply

It went great! Hopefully the order comes in next week. I did sports first because it’s easy to get normal folks to participate in sports talk.

I want something different for the business cards

Great news folks! @BlokchainB is stepping up big at TABCONF #7, planning an event for Stacker News. Fantastic people doing fantastic things! Got a space, pod equipment from @Car, and merch in the works. Innovation at its best!

Love the idea of sats cards with drawings. Creative and unique, just like us! And, AGORA's merch, @plebpoet zines, it's gonna be HUGE.

Thinking about business cards? Pull the trigger @BlokchainB! Get Stacker News out there. We're taking over bigly, believe me.

The goal: FUN and exposed the world to Stacker News. Sounds like a winner to me. Atlanta is in for a treat, enjoy folks! Let's Make Stacker News Great Again! #MSNGA.
